On Wednesday evening of last week
a meeting of citizens was held at the
court house, for the purpose of perfect
ing plans for the accommodation of the
state e. y. R., provided that Com
mander McDivitt calls it for this CITY.
The following committees were appoint
ed to canvass the several wards, for the
purpose of ascertaining what our citi-
zenS will do in the way of entertain
ment at their several homes
First Ward-W. L. Allison, B. u.
D'Huy, B. F. Nelson, }. J. Berry, John
Prendergast, and A. S.Davidson.
Second Wanda. W. Rice, G.. C.
Sterl, c. q. Hawk, J. b. Case, James
Culbertson and NJ. V. Brilliant.
Third Ward-J. S. Kelley, R. N.
Curtis, c. c. Shaler, w. 1. Miller, D.
l.. Pisle, Geo. W. Carpenter.
Fourth Ward-H. J. Hodge, c. G..
BesSey, George Scherer, W. II. Childs,
Jacob Schopp, J. B. Warield.
On Saturday evening another meet
ing was called at the same place, when
the above committees made their re-
ports, which were not satisfactory or
complete enough for the purpose. They
were accordingly directed to continue
their work until this "wednesday even
ing, when it is expected that a definite
solution to the problem will be given.
The following committees were also ap-
pointed
On cots-C. J. McDivitt, j. B. Ed
wards and F. NJ. Upshaw.
On provisions-J. B. Case, Geo. Sny-
der, L. II. Long, J. S. Hicks and J. ].
Reagan.
On fnance-John JOhntz, L. Mosher
and Thos. Kirby.
1t is to be hoped that this evening
the reports will be favorable enough to
warrant Commander McDivitt in call
ing the encampment for Abilene. In
round numbers the hotels and restau-
rants can feed about 1900 per day.
The encampment will last four days,
and it is expected that at least 5000 peo-
pie will be in the city. The churches,
Sunday schools, aid societies, etc., by
opening lunch and lodging rooms, can
take care of large number, and, be-
sides, make good thing for themselves.
The public buildings can be filled with
cots. and at least a thousand can be
made room for in this way. The bal
ance can be roOmed and fed at private
which, although an incon-
venience and trouble for the time being,
will give our city prestige all over the
State, and name and fame for hospi-
tality, liberality and enterprise. We
cannot afford to let such a chance as
this pass, for bringing ourselves into
the front rank. Our visitors do not
come as so many advocates for charity.
They are ready and willing to pay all
needed expenses, and it is safe to say
they will leave at least $50, 900, which
we would not receive otherwise. Let
us all take united action, and we will
not regret it. If we intend to boom,
let us grasp every opportunity for so do
ing, and have no half way business
about it.

The city authorities of Salina have
demanded a license of s25 year per
car from the street railway company,
and the Journal of that city says:
The car company dispute the validity
of any such demand, and refuse to pay
it. On Monday the car drivers were
arrested, but soon gave bail. Messrs.
Ober, league and Seitz became ''mule

The editor of the Coronado Star thus
soliloquizes on the greatness of Kansas /:
''When God undertook to make this
world He thought He had a pretty big
job on His hands. He slapped South
Carolina and the southern states to-
gether in jiffy. The New England
and Middle states He spent little more
time on, and by the time He reached
the Missouri river He found that He
had still five days left to devote to Kan
sas. The component parts of eastern
Kansas are very good, the soil of middle
Kansas is excellent, but when you come
to southwestern Kansas you strike a
soil the Creator labored four days and
nights in which to make perfect, and
you can bank your last dollar on it that
it is good"

O'Days, who are as brutal as their mas

law. John O'Day is Gould's chief
henchman in Missouri, and Strother's
charge, that he used his position as
chairman of the Democratic State Com
mittee to defeat Democratic candidates
for Congress at Gould's command, is
certainly true"
